Truly remarkable work and artistic imagination, I can make things but i'm totally brain-dead on the artistic side,

A router table... sort of! After fannying about trying to cobble together a large flat plate with the baby Trend T4 router hung underneath I banged by knee against the welding table I have from 7050ps; inverted the clamps that drop through its slots and the router sat nicely underneath - worked a treat to round the edges on the woodwork for current project.

Today I made an adapter for a job at work. We have a huge amount of welding to be done on the existing structure of a large building we're modifying but all of the existing steel work is covered in intumescent paint for fire protection. We tried a wire wheel on a grinder but it just smears the paint. We had a lot more success with a small sds hammer drill in hammer function only using a wide chisel but it's end-of-the-world noisy and also has HAV issues, very hard on the hands. Can't use a grinding disc as it polishes the steel so the new fire protection won't stick well enough.
So I stripped the blade holder off a recip saw and made this adapter for clamping a scraper blade which I also made. The blade has a piece of old carbide milling cutter tip on the end.
I tried it out on the paint on my bench legs and it's wicked fast at removing it. Should make the guys very happy at work. Might be a bit long in the stroke at 28mm but the stroke isn't so easy to change so I'm going to see how they get on with it and if it's un-manageable I'll have to come up with something to shorten it up.

Scallywag? SCALLYWAG???
Jeez, I've only just come to embrace the 'hipster' moniker you kindly gave me a couple of years ago - and now you're calling me something entirely different!
I can't keep pace with this speed of change...

LOL - I'd forgotten about that! I had my original one at work several years ago as we didn't have a working router at school at the time but it got nicked in a break-in over a weekend; it got replaced (wouldn't these days as there's not ANY money in education) and as the replacement arrived at school one of the technicians had PAT tested it and slapped a sticker on it before I knew it had arrived!
